I'm not sure if this belongs here or in the "grand illusion" catagory. So, I'll try here first.

I would like to start doing a show with my fiance (she's all for it). I'm looking for any illusions that would accomidate her height. She is 5'8". She is fit but not stick thin. I think she weighs about 140 lbs. So any suggustions on an illusion that we could use. We already have a sub trunk that we hope will become part of the show. I'm looking for atleast one more illusion that would become part of this future show.

Thanks in advance.

Edd,
I'm 5'7". I often work with my heels on so I jump boxes somewhere in the 5'9"-5'10" range. I'm not rail thin. I've found I can fit in most Zig-Zags (some with shoes, some without). The Thin sawing, Kube-Zag, Most sword-boxes or Doll houses are good fits. We had our Twister made taller, don't use the stool in with the Brooms...My point is tall isn't really a bad thing and I think you'll find it won't limt you too much. Just remember, don't listen to the short girls when it comes to "how-to-do-it" tall ladies do it diffrent most of the time.
"Homemade" illusions tend to be bigger then the so called "real thing" but you get what you pay for.
If you see something you like PM me, tell me what it is, who built it (very important to fit) and I'll help if I can.
